The state government alleges they illegally withdrew a large sum of money from the school account, violating several sections of the Indian Penal Code. Mr. X claims he doesn’t know how the money was withdrawn, while Mr. Y denies signing the withdrawal documents. While there are 45 witnesses, only one supports Mr. Y, and another contradicts him. The remaining witnesses remain unsure. A handwriting expert has confirmed that the signature on the documents doesn’t match Mr. Y’s. What evidence can be presented to prove Mr. Y’s innocence?

Mr. Y can present the handwriting expert’s report as evidence to prove he did not sign the withdrawal documents. He can also argue that the lack of corroborating evidence from other witnesses, particularly Mr. X’s lack of knowledge, casts doubt on the prosecution’s claim.
